I had to stop watching. It was just really, really boring. It somehow managed to have me in a back and forth between "what is this about?" and "yes, I get it already, you don't need to tell me again." I won't give it any further of a bad rap, because after all, it wasn't meant to be this big of a film (even a semi well publicized straight to DVD). If it weren't for the obvious connections of the director, it's a film that would do just ok on the festival circuit. Had I seen this at a festival, I would have said it's not quite there, but good luck next time. When it gets publicity like this though, it gets one star after watching 40 minutes.

Making a movie about dreams or dreaming is tough, and it shows in this one. The difficulty with dreams in any bit of fiction is that they can't be held accountable; that is, by definition, there isn't any kind of direct correspondence between dream occurrences and narrative significance. A dream (singular) here and there can enrich a narrative with symbolism, causality, subconscious, but when the dream becomes plural then almost universally a story starts to break down. Having gritted my teeth through movies like 'Waking Life' and 'The Cell', to name a few, I've come to associate "dream" with "lazy" in cinema, and there's not a lot in 'The Good Night' to change my mind.
